Manchester City: Ilkay Gundogan praises David Silva

The Hindu  

Ilkay Gundogan looks at his Manchester City team-mate David Silva with great admiration, adamant any player would learn just by watching the Spanish playmaker. "You learn more about football in general when you watch players like David," Gundogan said on DAZN's Talking Tactics show. Gundogan also thinks highly of Mario Gotze, his international colleague and former Borussia Dortmund team-mate. The City midfielder joined Dortmund in 2011, just after Gotze — then a teenager — had broken into Dortmund's first-team and looked destined for the top, and Gundogan found his ability intimidating.
